What's New in Chess
1.3.0
July 14, 2026
Knight Fever gets a big, roomy redesign. Now you can rearrange your Home: drag the sections into any order you like, and pick up your last game right from the top. On iPad and Mac the app opens into a full dashboard instead of a narrow column, and Settings and History share the same clean new look. Train has three new drills, Endgames, Coordinates, and Openings, plus a new Your Stats screen with a local rating, win streaks, achievements, and your results by color and opening. Choose your opponent's strength with the new Bot Ladder, and rank up on Game Center leaderboards. Still completely free: no ads, no subscriptions, everything unlocked. Play across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
